SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 27 – While
many even most
cases in the
Magistrates
Court of the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York are
sealed or have
case numbers
given only
later, on August
27
Magistrate
Judge Katherine
H. Parker
instructed a
defendant
named Mr.
Patterson who
was being released
to stay away
from the Gun
Hill Road area
in The Bronx.

The
scope of that
neighborhood
was not
defined; his
assigned CJA
lawyer as
we've noted
before is at
the same time
representing
the government
in a criminal
contempt case.
Inner City
Press will
have more on
this.

Steven Donziger
is still in the process of
posting the $800,000 bond to
remain at liberty facing
criminal contempt charges in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York.

Back on
August 12 Donzinger's new
lawyer Andrew J. Frisch
appeared before SDNY Judge
Loretta Parker and informed
her that while follow lawyer
Martin Garbus, staying at
Truro near Provincetown in
Massachusetts, is willing to
co-sign Donziger's bond, it is
possible he will not travel to
the courthouse in Boston, much
less New York, in the time
frame specified.

Frisch
offered to find another
co-signer. Judge Preska gave
him until the close of
business on Wednesday, August
14. This
is a unique
hybrid of a
case, both
criminal and
civil; Judge
Preska for the
record
excluded time
under the
Speedy Trial
Act. Representing
the United States in the
proceeding was lawyer Rita J.
Glavin, who also serves as an
appointed criminal defense
attorney on the SDNY's
Criminal Justice Act panel,
which to some
might seem a
conflict, into
which Inner
City Press has
respectfully
inquired.

Inner City Press
will continue to cover this
and other SDNY and 2nd Circuit
cases - watch this site, and there is
more on
Patreon, here.
